Gdańsk

Almost synonymous throughout history concepts are Gdańsk and maritime transport. Since the dawn of its thousand-year history of the capital city of Gdansk Pomerania was related to the economy based on the sea. Ten centuries after the first mention of the castle on the Motława slowly forging new synonyms:

Gdańsk and Container transport and Gdańsk and container-transport. Considerable impact on this state of affairs was to work hard and rational institutions and companies participating in the trading port and maritime industry and all builders TSL. Probably the company and Helena TS He wrote their contribution in the history of Gdansk and the Tri-City business. A thousand years ago, what is hard to believe today, Ships deeply influenced the current of the stream Siedlecki, which today only in one place is not completely channeled. Seaport is located somewhere in the neighborhood Zamczyska received Slavic and Scandinavian small ships, and later taken over from Germany and the Netherlands cog. No one then knew the concepts such, as the container-transport, no one thought of transport container, all transport morski based on the power of human muscle. How great a distance away from the times of the Deepwater Container Terminal proudly host the largest container ships in the world.

but before Gdańsk for good (and with it the shipping companies such as Helena TS) included in the mainstream of the world maritime, many were in his history of turmoil. First Polish crew left the city burning it in the eleventh century., Late upstepped of stagnation in the town burned 1308 the Teutonic Knights, and finally they will be the Polish king and the interests of the residents of the city on the Motława River - in 1466 after the Second Peace of Torun, the city stood open to international maritime trade, for the exchange of goods by sea between Polish, and England and the Netherlands and around the world. While no one then dreamed of such techniques as transport container, no one came to mind not the service as the container-transport, Gdańsk it has grown from strength to strength thanks to maritime transport, enough, that his budget was in the sixteenth century. times larger than the entire Polish Treasury!

Size never lasts forever, and so it was the case Gdansk. Cut off as a result of the partitions of Polish economic base and the city declined. Big granaries emptied, wealth escaped from the city, and the former glory were left only memories. Yet to do their tragedies of Nazism, World War II and it seemed, Gdansk that after a great center of maritime transport will remain nothing more, as just a collection of historical records in the books.

Fortunately for himself and returned to Polish Gdańsk matrix. Ruined, with a completely new residents, its uncertain economic future but the city grew steadily, former gaining strength and vigor. No one here has not yet planned to transport containers or expanded services within the container-transport services, but developed handling of general cargo and bulk. growing city, grew Poland and Europe, and thus the logistic needs, which resulted in the construction of one of the most important investments in the history of Gdansk: Deepwater Container Terminal, which quickly became the largest container terminal in Poland approaching, and finally breaking the magic barrier 1 million TEU per year. So rapid growth and great success so do not expect one.

The success of the terminal entails further events. It becomes necessary expansion of the logistics center, railway lines, road transport services (Container transport), advanced services TSL, as all container transport and infrastructure, superstructure, legal and business solutions aimed at the development of maritime transport.
